Holsworthy and the surrounding area is a beautiful place to live. It has a great sense of community with a host of characters and services that make it truly unique.
Pressure for retirement and second homes has helped push up the average price in the Torridge District Council area to nearly 13 times the typical local family earnings. This means that people brought up in the area are among those forced out by the shortage and cost of housing. Unless effective action is taken to make housing available to local people, we face a crisis and the very community, the character and services which make Holsworthy unique, will soon disappear.
